They are actually all grade ones but a couple of those wont quite make our supreme range they will drop to gold sovereign range just purely on feel. Just get in touch there are some absolute guns in there and more besides.

Thanks Paul

Any chance you could find 2 Gold sovereign and 3 Silver sovereign blades in this fine selection?  ;)

I've got my own and the cheques from 4 other team mates burning a hole in my pocket at the moment waiting to place an order under your support your club deal.  :)

Hi mate, are any of these clefts extremely lightweight, (low density)?

Littlemaster the one on the far right is a beauty, supreme cleft 7-8 grains great ping and in its raw state as it sits is weighing in at only 3lb4oz. So plenty of scope for a big bat with that one obviously depending on what weight you are looking for

No all our bats are pressed by myself. We are striving to do everything ourselves. The next thing we will look at will be manufacturing our own handles but that is a while a way yet

Thanks for the reply, I was looking at a bat weighing in at around 2.6lbs (very light, I know!). What kind of edge sizes and spine heights can you achieve with this weight?

Spine heights and edges are only achievable with what you have in the cleft to start with so with that one you are looking at 35-40 mm edges and 65-70 mm spie heights. It is an absolute gun too someone nearly had it yesterday but wanted a lot of grains and that's 8 grains.
